Edgar Chekera

Qualifications

I am a BASES (British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences) accredited practitioner. I have both a MSc (Distinction) Applied Sport Psychology degree and BSc (1st Class) Sport & Exercise Psychology degree that equips me with a vast and in-depth knowledge of psychology. I have specialised in areas such as the psychology of competition and training, flow state, health behaviours, confidence, anxiety and motivation.

Experience

I have been training and practising in sport psychology for close to 10 years. Within that time I have supported performers through a range of challenges and difficulties; working across 17 competitive sports, accumulating 18 trophies and acquiring over $2 million in prize winnings. This has included working with Great British sprinters, International powerlifters, professional and academy footballers, professional esports competitors and many more. As I offer a range of services, I’ve had the pleasure of helping people achieve their goals. Click here to see what people have said about PSYCH-CHEK.

My work not only addresses the individual need of an athlete, but expands to understand the social environment they are in. Therefore, I have catered to individual, team and organisational-level needs when working with clients. This is done to effectively achieve the goals of the client and create meaningful change in their lives. To see how PSYCH-CHEK can help, enquire here.

Mindset

My knowledge of sport and the psychology behind it cannot simply be found in a textbook. I have trained and played competitively in a range of sports (e.g., rugby, weightlifting, football, crossfit) and always look at different ways to expand my knowledge. 

I also have a personal interest in you. What makes you tick? How does your environment impact your performance? Do you process your emotions in a healthy, rational way? I aim to encourage self-reflection, not self-scrutiny. At PSYCH-CHEK, the main aim is to improve sport performance without neglecting the most important thing: the client. 

At PSYCH-CHEK, science-backed treatment plans are used to meet your needs and goals. All clients, with my assistance, are invited to look within themselves. Each individual begins a journey to enhance their own psychology and once that journey is complete, they are left with a skillset applicable to life inside and outside of the sporting arena.
